★ What does candycrack mean? Simply stated it means... Sweet as candy, addicting as crack. The shorter version would be, Sweet Addiction. It's something I had come up with years and years ago, and has simply stuck with me.

From Metro Detroit Michigan, Stacy is a24 year old Graphic & Web Designer. My creations are a mix of new and old. I've always had a diverse taste when it comes to jewelry and that is something that is reflected in my shop.

My name is Evelyn, I’m 28 years old and the mother of a beautiful boy named Brian. I live in a tourist town by sea, in Italy. I spend a lot of time with my son, which is why I can spare the time to create and experiment with new things.I am crazy about travelling and would gladly travel around the world. I love adventure and unspoiled places…. white beaches …the sun ... my dream would be to live somewhere warm all year round.

I have always had a passion for sewing clothes for myself, but I also loved unique and original accessories, and I found such joy in creating them, or seeing people wear such.After I became a mother, I used my free time to create jewellery and accessories for myself and my friends. That was also about the time that I discovered Etsy and the world of eShops.

You ask me why an Italian girl, called Sumiko her shop?I have a passion for Japan and the East in general, I like foreign names, I can not call my son Sumiko, so I called my shop.I do jewelry, hair accessories, pins and much more ...I decided to open my store at etsy, so i can sell my creations worldwide.I love life, beautiful things, colours, and I love laughter. I would love to convey all of these through my creations.I hope you will like my cute shop!

For goodness sakes, where does one begin to write about our very own team leader?

Sandra, (but everyone calls her "Joey") is the fearless, dynamic, funny, easy-going, talented, endearing team leader of EtsyBloggers. She has a hubby and two adorable younguns that she adores and looks after as a gift and blessing to her fulfilling life.

"We're all about family and fabric, love and laughter, and handmade super coolness. That's how we rock."- Joey & Aleethea™"

Joey & Aleethea™ is the Admin and Team Leader of the EtsyBloggers team. She is also a member of these fab Etsy teams: EtsyBABY, EtsyKids, EtsyMom, SwankyMoms, FAM, EtsyGreek and Loco for Gocco!

Her "Super Cutesie" baby boutique is named "Joey & Aleethea". If you have children and none of them have a Monster Shirt or monster outfit, or a pair of Ankle Biters lounge pants, or a Monster Cupcake dress, then they are just not super cool "yet"! "Joey & Aleethea™ is a super cutesie boutique for baby boys, baby girls and their peeps!"

Ankle Biters

Where does she find the time and energy?

Joey and Aleethea are "We are baby-wearing, breast-feeding, co-sleeping, attachment-parenting parents!" FYI: Those of us with grown up children, well, we do not do this last part anymore.

Newly returned from a trip to Ireland we are featuring the shop of Deb who is known to all the EtsyBloggers as Storybeader. My favorites of her creations are the treasure necklaces. Together with beads and charms each piece tells a story. Each stunning necklace also comes with a poem specifically inspired by the work.

The haiku for the necklace below is -

She walked through the door

With the bright star reflecting

In her deep blue eyes.

To travel with this jewelry artist on her recent journey to Ireland keep an eye on her blog. To find out what treasure is waiting for you in her shop take a look below and don't be afraid to click because clicking on any item will take you to her shop and we know you want to look!

If you go to the website of fellow etsyblogger Elise of Betani's Bureau you are greeted with a header that explains the person in her own words better that I certainly could. It says " One girl, a thousand interests, unlimited curiosity, and a singular desire to be helpful." Sounds just like the type of person you want to get to know better and you can at Betani's Bureau.com. You can also take a stroll through her shop and see what all those interests lead to.
